Nikka Coffey Vodka

Nikka Coffey Vodka is a refined Japanese spirit made from corn and malted barley distillates produced in traditional Coffey column stills. Expert blenders marry multiple batches for texture and balance, then refine the spirit with white birch charcoal. The result is an exceptionally smooth vodka with quiet grain character, subtle sweetness and a clean, elegant finish — perfect neat or in elevated cocktails.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Soft citrus and gentle grain on the nose. The palate is silky, rounded and subtly sweet, showing hints of vanilla and white fruit with a creamy, “milky” mouthfeel. The finish is pure, poised and impeccably clean.
